Back in its glory days, Bucharest was known as Little Paris. It has the lights, the architecture, the fashion but most of all the SWEETS to prove it. Pastry chefs trained in France brought back the craft and talent and took the aristocracy from Turkish Delights to French Eclairs. In this 3-hour-long experience, we will go through the ages of sweets and pastries but also find out about the 500-year history of the city. Combining French, Oriental, and Balkan influences, Bucharest is the city of contrasts.

What are people saying about Bucharest

Susan_H, Aug 2026

Long day, but worth seeing the castles!

It is a long day but worth it to see the castles. Pele’s castle was especially amazing. Bram Castle was nice if you wanted to think about the book Dracula. But remember there was no real vampire and the story didn’t happen at that castle. To make it a shorter day we could’ve skipped the city Braşov. We had particularly bad traffic because it was a Sunday and nice weather. It took a long time to get there and get it back. We managed to get back by 9 o’clock at night. Our guide Serban was very knowledgeable and kept us on track to get back at a reasonable hour.

Bucharest Private Tour, Parliament Palace, Ceausescu House Visit

Stelios_D, July 2026

Perfect combination of activities - flawlessly planned by Catalin

We had an amazing experience with this combination of 2 tours. Catalin picked us up directly from our hotel and took us to Parliament Palace. On our way, he explained lot of insight information about the palace, the city itself and all this kind of information about Bucharest that someone visiting this beautiful city as a tourist, would love to hear. He even found a perfect spot for photos, stopped the car and took a photo of us. Everything was very well prepared time-wise. Then we had the tour, in a very small private group of 7 people in total. The tour was amazing and we entered all the rooms that can be visited in a VIP manner. After the palace of parliament tour. Catalin picked us up again and took us to Ceausescu House, where another tour was scheduled for us, to join an English tour of the house. On our way from one place to the other, Catalin continued providing interesting information about the city, in a very engaging and friendly manner. He waited for us for the tour to finish (well worth it, please include it in your visit) and then he went the extra mile. We wanted to continue our walk in a nearby park, rather than being transferred to the hotel again. Catalin gladly accepted this request and not only he left us in the spot to start our walk in the Herastrau park, but he explained with very clear instructions the best way to walk through the park, so that we could see the best part of it and then easily get off the park in a convenient place to take the Metro and continue our walk. So, Kudos and million thanks to Catalin, for making this experience unforgettable. I can only highly recommend this tour, ask for Catalin and you will remember me!

Dracula's Castle, Peles Castle and Brasov Day Trip from Bucharest

German_S, July 2026

Excellent tour and even better guide (Otilia)

Otília was amazing. The information she gives is really good. Her organization and punctuality are impecable. The sad part comes from another group with another guide (the bus was half English and half spanish) and the Spanish group was always arriving late and that made us delay a lot. I just wish they were left behind as they were warned multiple times and still didn't comply. The times given on each place was perfect.

Full Day Trip to Bulgaria from Bucharest

Carlos_G, July 2026

You won’t regret it

The tour was almost exactly 12 hours long and we were told we were lucky with our timing. With that being said, none of the tour felt like a drag. You get to experience something that you would otherwise probably miss on your own. Rodica and Christian were very pleasant to work with.

Bucharest to Dracula Castle, Peles Castle and Brasov Guided Tour

John_C, July 2026

One of the Best Options

Thank you for hosting the tour. It was worthwhile. I don't think I would ever have been able to or plan anything out like that myself. We went through some cities, & it was thoughtful to let people explore a bit to grab food. It felt sortof sad to leave at the end, which I think indicates it was done well; knowing this is how modern life is--you are expected to do things fast, then move on, etc.., even though I do not personally believe in that philosophy, I think it was a good tour and way to spend 1st part of the day.

ivanabo16, July 2026

Great two days

Cristian welcomed us right on time; he was always very helpful and attentive to our needs. He gave us plenty of time to explore without any stress, offering us helpful suggestions along the way. His suggestion to organize a tour the following day along the winding Transfagarasan Roadfor an additional fee- was excellent—we even had the chance to spot several bears along the way. The hotel he recommended was comfortable and clean. It’s definitely worth the trip

Bucharest Food Lovers Tour: Markets, Tastings & Hidden Spots

Jennifer_C, June 2026

Great intro to the city!

Had a wonderful tour with Bogdam. Come with an empty stomach because there was a lot of food - and beer! Easy meet-up location on the steps of the National Theater. Everyone on my tour was from the U.S. Bogdam’s English was fantastic. Ate different types of salami, eggplant dips, olives, cheeses, bread, mici with mustard, a pretzel, cherries, a fried donut speciality. Soft drinks were available for those who didn’t want to drink beer or wine. Tried the local plum brandy shot. Visited different neighborhoods and a large fresh marketplace. Had a wonderful time and would highly recommend!

It is cold for sure but...

It is cold for sure but inside is very breathtaking seeing it. For Americans it’s about 50 degrees F so definitely a jacket and pants. They have events inside which is kinda surprising I didn’t think there was anything in there so it is family friendly as well.

Transylvania and Dracula Castle Full Day Tour from Bucharest

Danuta_M, June 2026

A very good day's activity

A great way to get out of the city and see the country. We had comfortable coach, very good driver Daniel, and our guide Stefan giving commentary along the way. Plenty of time at each stop off point and he'd chat with any of us asking questions. Whole day was excellent. I really would recommend this to anyone. Well worth the cost.

Taste of Bucharest: Food and Culture Private Tour

Timothy_C, May 2026

Best food tour ever.

This was the absolutely best tour we have taken. Our host walked us through the city and stopped at small local shops with the best food tastings. Everything was fresh and made on the spot upon our arrival. Our host Manuela, would stop at various locations and explain the origins of the city and country with facts about the people involved. We went through the old town, through revolution square, past the music hall, past historic churches dating back to the 14th century, all while having delicious local flavors. We sat down for a family style dinner with our host a she explained each dish. I cannot say enough how this was the best tour by far. Our group of 4 was extremely impressed. The walk was casual at your own pace. Book this excursion now, you will not be disappointed. Go hungry because there will be a lot of food.

Castles of Transylvania: Private Day Trip from Bucharest

Thomas_G, May 2026

A Brilliant experience with Claudiu

We had excellent communication before the trip, including confirming the correct time to book tickets to Peles Castle, text updates for pickup, and an introduction to our driver, Claudiu. He met us directly at our hotel and we began the journey towards Peles Castle, stopping halfway for a coffee break. Peles Castle was absolutely beautiful and well worth the entrance fee. After the visit, we met back up with Claudiu and continued on to Bran Castle. While Bran Castle looks stunning from the outside, we found the interior a little underwhelming in comparison. Our final stop was Brasov, which is a truly beautiful place. We were recommended a fantastic restaurant called La Ceaun, the food and service were both excellent and we spent around 90 minutes there before heading back. There is quite a lot of driving on this tour, but Claudiu regularly offered to stop whenever needed and made the journey enjoyable with his knowledge, humour, and friendly personality. Overall, a great experience and highly recommended.
